I understand you are all saying this is unlikely but we are consistently told all this money has to be borrowed because there could be a war in a country. I do not see how billions and billions of borrowing can be paid back in a ten-year period by a country that could be devastated by war. The hope is that this will not be the case, but why is there €150 billion in militarisation?
